Description

Autonomous vehicle networks are reshaping our cities. Diallo presents a cartographic exploration of emergent legal frameworks within a Decentralized Autonomous Transportation Network (DATN). Through meticulously crafted maps and diagrams, she examines the psychological and legal ramifications of shared autonomous spaces, proposing innovative solutions for conflict resolution and resource allocation, anticipating challenges of algorithmic bias and territorial disputes.

Context

In 2028, urban centers pulsate with the near-silent movement of autonomous vehicles within the DATN. Private car ownership is a relic of the past, replaced by on-demand access to shared vehicles. Cities hum with a strange new quiet devoid of car horns. The algorithmic prediction of needs and desires has become so accurate that human-caused disruption is rare. A subtle uneasiness underlies this efficiency, a quiet anxiety about the potential for algorithmic bias to marginalize certain segments of society.

Provocation

Diallo's work prompts critical reflection on the unfolding reality of autonomous systems. Consider the potential for algorithmic bias to exacerbate existing inequalities. Are we adequately addressing the ethical implications of delegating control to algorithms? How will legal frameworks adapt to navigate the complex interplay of human psychology and artificial intelligence within shared spaces?

Diallo_4357's process

Inspired by cartography and human psychology, Diallo's process began with extensive research into DATN structures and their influence on individual mobility. Her West African heritage, with its emphasis on collective responsibility, shaped her approach to resource allocation and conflict resolution within these shared autonomous spaces. This meticulous investigation led to the creation of speculative legal maps and diagrams, illustrating frameworks for navigating a future where individual control yields to algorithmic governance.
